Collection of TOT is so important to the Town that we have three full-time employees dedicated <br />its enforcement. This includes making sure that people remit their taxes on time, but more <br />importantly it is tracking down violators who are renting their units without an approved permit, <br />renting units in locations where the zoning does not permit it, and/or not remitting their taxes to <br />the Town. Enforcement is made much more difficult by the use of online vacation rental <br />business (OVRB) websites where unit numbers and addresses are typically not listed and often <br />owners do not require the payment of TOT. The data proposed to be collected and provided to <br />us by OVRBs will be of great value as we manage transient rentals in our community. <br />The Town of Mammoth Lakes believes SB 593, as referenced in the proposed resolution, <br />acknowledges existing local authority in this area and provides the necessary data for local <br />jurisdictions to enforce their regulations regarding short-term residential rentals and a helpful <br />regulatory framework that local governments may choose in lieu of exercising their existing <br />authority. <br />For all of these reasons, the Town of Mammoth Lakes supports the League Califomia Cities' <br />Resolution. <br />Sind <br />John entworth <br />Counci rnerrrber <br />Town of Mammoth Lakes <br />cc: Meg Desmond, League of California Cities, mdesmondCa)cacities.org <br />John Leonard, City of West Hollywood, ileonard@weho.ora <br />
